  • Passive fire protection system for energized electric utility facilities and method of installation
    Patent number: 7560644
    Abstract: A passive fire protection system for a power facility having a fire resistant wrap enclosing cable joints and adjacent power cables; a fire resistant sheet carried between the power cables and the control cables defining a fire barrier to resist fire from the power cables damaging the control cables; a fire resistant wrap on a cable drop section of the control cables so that the cable drop section is protected from burning power cables; a radiant heat shield carried on a bottom side of a hatchway cover leading from the room containing the power cables to deflect heat from passing through the hatchway cover into a floor above the basement; and, a fire penetration seal in each cable penetration opening to resist fire and heat from passing upward into adjacent floors of the power facility.
